92/42/EEC - Efficiency requirements for new hot-water boilers fired with liquid or gaseous fuels
Council Directive 92/42/EEC establishes minimum efficiency requirements for new hot-water boilers fired by liquid or gaseous fuels, with outputs between 4 kW and 400 kW, aiming to promote energy savings and contribute to the internal market. It defines several boiler types, including standard, low-temperature, gas condensing, back-boilers, and boilers installed in living spaces. The Directive mandates specific useful efficiency levels at rated output and part load, facilitates free market access for compliant boilers within the EU, and allows Member States to impose conditions based on local climatic and building occupancy factors. Boilers meeting the requirements must bear the CE mark for conformity and may receive energy-performance labels indicating higher efficiency. Specific provisions permit the continued use of back-boilers and living-space boilers widely installed before the Directive, under stringent efficiency limits. The Directive is part of the Community's SAVE programme promoting rational use of energy, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and energy dependence. Member States are required to implement the Directive by 1994, monitor compliance, and the Commission must review its effectiveness after three years.
Purpose
Council Directive 92/42/EEC, adopted on 21 May 1992, aims to establish efficiency requirements for new hot-water boilers fired by liquid or gaseous fuels within the European Community. This directive forms part of the SAVE program to promote energy efficiency. It intends to harmonize energy efficiency standards across Member States to facilitate the free movement of goods by preventing technical barriers related to varying national efficiency requirements. The directive contributes to reducing energy consumption, reliance on hydrocarbon imports, and mitigating environmental impact, notably CO2 emissions, while promoting consumer benefits through energy savings.
Key Obligations
Efficiency Requirements: New boilers with rated outputs between 4 kW and 400 kW must comply with minimum useful efficiency thresholds measured at rated output and at 30% part load, differentiated by boiler types:
- Standard boilers: Efficiency at rated output ≥ 84 + 2 logPn (%), and at part load ≥ 80 + 3 logPn (%).
- Low-temperature boilers (including liquid fuel condensing boilers): Efficiency at rated output and part load ≥ 87.5 + 1.5 logPn (%).
- Gas condensing boilers: Efficiency at rated output ≥ 91 + 1 logPn (%) and at part load ≥ 97 + 1 logPn (%).
Exemptions: Certain boilers are excluded from the directive, including those capable of firing different fuels including solid fuels, instantaneous water heaters, and boilers designed for unusual fuel types or one-off manufacture.
Market Access and Free Movement: Member States may not restrict boilers meeting the directive’s efficiency requirements from being placed on the market or put into service.
Local Conditions: Member States may impose conditions for putting boilers into service based on local climate and building energy characteristics. Member States where back-boilers and boilers installed in living spaces were widely used before the directive are allowed to continue authorizing their service entry if efficiency is within 4% of standards.
Labeling and CE Mark: Boilers complying with efficiency requirements must bear the CE mark and a conformity declaration. A specific energy performance label system may be adopted to identify boilers exceeding standard efficiency levels, using a symbolic "K" rating.
Conformity Assessment: Boilers must undergo type-examination by notified bodies and meet conformity procedures as set out under European harmonized standards and modules defined in the directive.
Monitoring and Reporting: Member States must forward relevant data to the European Commission for ongoing monitoring. The Commission is tasked with a report submission three years post-implementation regarding directive outcomes and technological progress, proposing amendments if necessary.
Affected Products and Actors
Products: The directive applies to new hot-water boilers with a rated output from 4 kW to 400 kW fired by liquid or gaseous fuels. It covers boilers designed as a combined body-burner unit or sold separately. Excluded are boilers using solid or unusual fuels, cookers with incidental heating functions, and those manufactured on an individual basis.
Actors:
- Manufacturers and authorized representatives within the Community must ensure boilers meet directive requirements and obtain CE marking and certification.
- Member States are responsible for adopting and enforcing national legislation compliant with the directive, including appointing notified bodies for conformity assessment.
- Notified bodies conduct type-examination and certify conformity.
- European Commission monitors implementation, coordinates notified bodies, and proposes amendments based on technology and market developments.
Implementation Timeline
By 1 January 1993: Member States were required to adopt and publish national provisions necessary to comply with the directive and notify the Commission.
From 1 January 1994: Member States must apply the new provisions, ensuring only boilers compliant with the directive’s efficiency requirements may be put into service.
Until 31 December 1997: Transitional period during which boilers conforming to previous national rules could still be placed on the market and put into service.
3 Years Post-Implementation (circa 1997): The Commission to submit a progress and evaluation report to the European Parliament and Council, potentially proposing updates to the directive.
Directive 92/42/EEC established a foundational regulatory framework to harmonize energy efficiency standards for hot-water boilers across the EU, contributing to energy policy goals and environmental protection.
The directive applies to new hot-water boilers fired by liquid or gaseous fuels with a rated output between 4 kW and 400 kW. It covers boilers designed to transmit heat from burning fuels to water, including combinations of boiler body and burner units, standard boilers, low-temperature boilers, gas condensing boilers, back-boilers, and boilers intended for installation in living spaces. Boilers with dual functions (heating premises and providing sanitary hot water) are included with efficiency requirements targeting the heating function. Excluded are boilers capable of being fired by multiple fuels including solid fuels, equipment for instantaneous hot water preparation, boilers using atypical fuels (e.g., industrial waste gas, biogas), cookers primarily for heating premises with a subsidiary hot water role, appliances under 6 kW used solely for stored sanitary hot water, and boilers manufactured individually (one-off basis). The directive aims to harmonize energy efficiency requirements and facilitate free movement within the internal market.

La directive 92/42/CEE établit des exigences minimales de rendement pour les nouvelles chaudières à eau chaude alimentées en combustibles liquides ou gazeux dont la puissance nominale est comprise entre 4 et 400 kW, dans le cadre du programme Save visant la promotion de l'efficacité énergétique en Europe. Elle vise à harmoniser les niveaux de rendement des chaudières dans l'Union européenne afin d'assurer la libre circulation des produits tout en améliorant l'efficacité énergétique et en réduisant l'impact environnemental, notamment les émissions de CO2. La directive définit différentes catégories de chaudières (standard, basse température, à condensation) et fixe des seuils précis de rendement à puissance nominale et à charge partielle. Les États membres sont tenus de garantir que seules les chaudières conformes à ces critères soient mises sur le marché et mises en service, tout en tenant compte des conditions climatiques locales. Un système de certification et de marquage CE est introduit pour faciliter la conformité et la surveillance, avec des labels spécifiques pour les performances énergétiques supérieures. La directive prévoit aussi une évaluation régulière de son application et de ses effets.
Objet
La directive 92/42/CEE du Conseil du 21 mai 1992 établit des exigences minimales de rendement énergétique pour les nouvelles chaudières à eau chaude alimentées par combustibles liquides ou gazeux. Cette mesure s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme communautaire SAVE visant à promouvoir l’efficacité énergétique au sein de la Communauté européenne. La directive vise à homogénéiser les performances minimales des chaudières sur le marché intérieur pour faciliter leur libre circulation tout en contribuant à la réduction de la consommation énergétique, des émissions de CO₂ et, par conséquent, des dépendances énergétiques extérieures.
Obligations principales
Exigences de rendement : Les chaudières doivent respecter des seuils minimaux de rendement utile tant à puissance nominale (fonctionnement à puissance maximale) qu’à charge partielle (30 % de la puissance nominale). Ces exigences varient selon les types de chaudières (standard, basse température, à condensation) et la puissance (4 kW à 400 kW). Par exemple, une chaudière standard doit avoir un rendement à puissance nominale au minimum égal à 84 + 2 log Pn % (Pn étant la puissance nominale en kW).
Marquage CE : Pour garantir la conformité, les chaudières respectant ces exigences doivent porter la marque CE conformément aux procédures d’évaluation de la conformité définies, permettant leur libre circulation dans la Communauté.
Procédures d’évaluation et de certification : L’évaluation de conformité inclut un examen de rendement sur un prototype (module B) et la déclaration de conformité au type approuvé (modules C, D ou E). Ces procédures s’appuient sur des normes harmonisées publiées au Journal officiel.
Label énergétique spécifique optionnel : Les États membres peuvent adopter un système de labels reconnaissant des performances supérieures aux exigences minimales. Ces labels indiquent clairement la classe de performance énergétique par rapport au standard communautaire.
Mise en service : Les États membres ne peuvent interdire ni restreindre la commercialisation ou la mise en service de chaudières conformes. Toutefois, des dérogations limitées sont permises pour les chaudières dites « backboilers » ou à installer dans un espace habité, strictement encadrées afin de tenir compte des spécificités locales.
Surveillance et rapport : La Commission européenne doit assurer une surveillance permanente de la mise en œuvre et analyser les effets dans un rapport au bout de trois ans, avec possibilité de proposer des modifications.
Produits et acteurs concernés
Produits concernés : Chaudières nouvelles à eau chaude alimentées par combustibles liquides ou gazeux, d’une puissance nominale de 4 kW à 400 kW. Les chaudières à fonction double (chauffage + eau chaude sanitaire) ne sont soumises à l’exigence de rendement que pour la fonction chauffage.

This European Standard specifies, the requirements and test methods concerning, in particular, the construction, safety, fitness for purpose, and rational use of energy, as well as the classification and marking of gas-fired central heating boilers that are fitted with atmospheric burners, fan assisted atmospheric burners or fully premixed burners, and are hereafter referred to as boilers.
Where the word boiler is used, it needs to be read as the boiler including its connecting ducts, ducts and terminals, if any.
This European Standard covers gas-fired central heating boilers from the types C1 up to C9 and the types B2, B3 and B5:
NOTE For further background information on appliance types see CEN/TR 1749:2014.
a) that have a nominal heat input (on the basis of net calorific value) not exceeding 1 000 kW;
b) that use one or more combustible gases of the three gas families at the pressures stated in EN 437;
c) where the temperature of the heat transfer fluid does not exceed 105 °C during normal operation;
d) where the maximum operating pressure in the water circuit does not exceed 6 bar;
e) which may or may not give rise to condensation under certain circumstances;
f) which are declared in the installation instructions to be either a condensing boiler or a "low temperature boiler" or a standard boiler; if no declaration is given the boiler is to be considered a standard boiler;

Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 92/42/EEC covers "Efficiency requirements for new hot-water boilers fired with liquid or gaseous fuels". There are 54 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 92/42/EEC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 92/42/EEC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
